Her body was discovered and removed from a shallow grave in a neighbouring local government near Otukpo last week, according to recent reports.
It was reported that a commercial biker revealed the location where her fiancé reportedly killed and buried her for ritual purposes.
“An okada man who knew what happened to late Cynthia Onche went to her family members and gave them the news.
He led them to arrest her proposed Igbo husband who led the police to Ogun State where they arrested a native doctor, a Yoruba man, who performed the ritual at Obi Local Government Area before he later relocated to the South West. Both the proposed husband and the native doctor have confessed to committing the crime and are presently in police custody in Otukpo.”
Meanwhile, the deceased was laid to rest on Tuesday, June 1st, 2021, at Otukpo-Icho, in Otukpo.
